# Chapter 893: Akainu and Green Bull's Thoughts! (Combined Chapter)
"Ridiculous!"
"You got some kind of Hemophobia because you saw your lover and brother die?"
"In the end, isn't it just a weak Will!"
Esdeath listened to Katsuyu's explanation. She looked down even more on Tsunade, who was tightly clutching the Green Crystal Pendant on her Chest, trembling and slumped on the Snowfield. Her words further angered Shizune, who was beside Tsunade. The Little Girl looked up and glared at Esdeath.
"This Lord, don't you have someone you love? Can you really not understand the feeling of seeing someone you love die in front of you?"
Esdeath raised her beautiful Chin and sneered, "Hmph, their death means they were weak. It's only natural for the weak to die. What is there to care about!"
Actually, compared to the Canon, her experience was better. For example, her parents and Clansmen were not massacred by the Northern Foreign Tribes, so her Thought process was not completely radicalized. But Survival of the Fittest was the Principle that the Barutesu Clan had always followed. Every Clansman would teach their Child the Principle that only the Strong can survive. Coupled with years of leading the Imperial Navy in Conquest against the Shenhe Island Nation, she had seen death and life countless times, making her belief in Survival of the Fittest even stronger.
So, it wasn't just Esdeath. The entire Barutesu Clan would not feel sad because of the Death of relatives or friends. If they died of natural causes, they would be buried anywhere, without a funeral or mourning. But if they were killed or eaten by Danger Beasts outside, they would be completely ignored, and might even become a joke among the living while drinking, mocking them for being too weak and thus being eliminated.
Currently, Esdeath's Guard Squad, which is the Airship above her head. At this moment, there are many Adult Males from the Barutesu Clan and women skilled in Combat serving there. Esdeath also taught them the Ice Breathing she had researched. Therefore, in Esdeath's view, Tsunade's experience and current appearance. Were simply utterly ridiculous and shameful.
"Too much... you're too much..." Shizune couldn't believe that such cold-blooded and malicious words could come from such a beautiful Women's mouth.
"Kurome, pull her aside." Esdeath glanced coldly at Shizune, not bothering to argue considering she was still young.
"No, don't touch me!" Shizune's Expression was firm as she pulled out a Kunai and assumed a vigilant Posture.
[Bang!] But Kurome walked over, first slapped the Kunai out of her hand, and then kicked Shizune three meters away. However, Kurome didn't seem to intend to hurt her. Although it looked like she used a lot of Strength, Shizune, who fell onto the thick Snowfield, wasn't injured much. This also made Akame behind her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then, as promised, I will end your Life here!" Esdeath expressionlessly picked up the Heavy Sword-shaped Sword Strike in her hand and pointed it at Tsunade's Throat. The latter, however, had no Reaction, still trapped in the Fear of the Blood on her arm, her eyes vacant as if recalling some scene.
"Lord Esdeath." Just as Katsuyu was about to use the Reverse Summoning Technique to send Tsunade back to Shikkotsu Forest, Akame behind Esdeath couldn't help but speak.
"Hmm?" Esdeath turned her head in surprise, "You want to plead for her?"
"Yes." Akame nodded calmly.
"As you said, this Lady Tsunade's Will is not as firm and strong as yours."
"But she must be a very gentle person. I hope we can help her overcome her Fear of Blood, and her Identity also gives her this Qualification."
After Akame finished speaking, Hong Lian also said with a Smile.
"This Katsuyu mentioned that she is very skilled in Medical Ninjutsu. It just so happens that you don't have such a confidant among your subordinates. How about helping her out and taking her in as a Subordinate?"
Taking in a Subordinate... Esdeath looked back at Tsunade, a little hesitant.
She actually quite admired Tsunade's Strength. Her Aura before the Hemophobia was also very strong, and she seemed to have her own specialty in Medical Arts.
Of course.
There were also excellent Female Doctors sent by the Medical Academy on the Airship, as well as a Female Alchemist skilled in Bio Alchemy.
But they had no Strength to speak of.
They certainly couldn't accompany her on her Conquests, so she indeed needed a Female Doctor with decent Combat Power.
Finally, she could foresee that Im's Heavenly Empresses would increase in the Future, and there would inevitably be competition among them in various aspects.
Besides the most important Individual Strength and special value, one's own Influence/Power also needed to be considered.
And a large part of Influence/Power was composed of subordinates.
As a former Admiral of the Military, Esdeath had a good understanding of this aspect.
"Hmph!" Thoughts flashed through her mind, and Esdeath let out a cold snort, withdrawing the Sword Edge in her hand.
"Hoo—" Just as Katsuyu, Shizune, Akame, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Esdeath's cold voice sounded again.
"When she recovers, have the doctors on the Ship test her. If her skill is good, she can stay. But if she disappoints me again, I will kill her!"
"Thank you, Lord Esdeath!" Akame showed a grateful Smile. She knew her Action just now was a bit out of line.
But after hearing about Tsunade's situation, she couldn't bear to just watch her die, especially since the other party was completely defenseless now.
"Thank you very much. I believe Lord Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu will not disappoint you!" The giant Katsuyu's gentle tone was full of confidence, and Shizune, who had run back to Tsunade's side, felt the same way.
"She can't even cure her own illness, so she can't be that good." Esdeath replied dismissively, then glanced at Akame, "Since things have come to this, you take them back to the Airship and make arrangements."
"Yes!" Akame quickly nodded in agreement.
[Bang!] At this moment, Katsuyu suddenly turned into a small Katsuyu about one meter long in a burst of White Smoke.
"May I also accompany Lord Tsunade for a while? Besides, I have many things I want to ask the Lords of the World Government."
"As you wish." After speaking, Esdeath took Hong Lian and Kurome towards the Capital City of the Land of Snow again.
She was going to continue talking to the King there about surrendering. If he still refused this time, she would have to deal with him.
She also had to find a way to find the Environment Remodeling Machine that Lord Imu mentioned.
After completing these tasks, she could go wherever she wanted and explore this World called the Ninja World properly...
Within the Land of Birds.
Inside the Central Command Tent of the Stone Hidden Army, Ōnoki's furious Roar suddenly erupted.
"What did you say!!!" Ōnoki, fifty-six years old this year, stared in disbelief at the Iwagakure Chunin kneeling before him.
The latter felt the overwhelming Aura and repeated his previous words with a pale Expression.
"The Third Raikage is leading the Kumogakure Army in a sneak attack on our Stone Village. Our Stationed Ninja within our borders are trying their best to Intercept!"
"Also, Hanzo, the Leader of the Rain Hidden Village, is leading the Allied Forces of Rain Hidden Village, Waterfall Hidden, and Hidden Grass, attacking us!"
Inside the Main Tent, Kitsuchi, Mahiru, Hikari, Kari, Oishi, and the other Iwagakure Jonin all had shocked expressions.
"Why?"
"Our Action this time was also to rescue the Third Raikage. Why would he attack our Stone Village?"
Kitsuchi and everyone else were completely baffled.
It made no Principle at all!
"Alright, no matter why, we have to defeat these Bastards first..." Ōnoki cursed through clenched teeth.
Fortunately, there was still Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, in the Village. He should be able to hold off the Third Raikage for a while.
As for Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, it was unclear where he had wandered off to.
"Report!" Suddenly, the Afterimage of another Iwagakure Ninja appeared. As soon as he stopped, he urgently shouted.
"Lord Tsuchikage, from the direction of the Land of Wind, a large number of Sand Hidden Ninja are controlling those flying Puppetry and attacking us!"
The Main Tent fell into Dead Silence. The Mood of everyone present became exceptionally heavy.
Now they were being ambushed from three sides?
But the question remained, why did Cloud Hidden, Rain Hidden Village, and the others seem to Team Up with Sunagakure?
And Hidden Grass and Waterfall Hidden were not worth mentioning.
"Kitsuchi, you lead four thousand Ninja to block Sunagakure and guard our rear!"
"Since they've come out on their own, we don't have to worry about the Explosive Tags hidden in the Sand anymore!"
"The rest of you will defeat the Allied Forces of Rain Hidden Village, Hidden Grass, and Waterfall Hidden with This Old Man, and let them truly see why the Five Great Ninja Villages are the Five Great Ninja Villages!"
Ōnoki flew into the air, a vast Aura surging from his body.
Every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful, calming the somewhat panicked emotions of the crowd.
"Indeed, although Hanzo is leading them, in the end, they are just a bunch of Small Ninja Villages. Their so-called Jonin are just Chunin to us!" Kari, who possessed Explosion Release, grinned coldly.
"That's right, a bunch of Small Ninja Villages who usually bow and scrape before us dare to provoke us. Don't blame us for massacring them this time!" Wen Ya Jōnin, who was tall and strong, also said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with intense Killing Intent.
Soon.
The Atmosphere in the Main Tent quickly rose. Everyone was no longer worried about the situation of being surrounded, because the opponents were indeed Ninja from Small Ninja Villages.
Furthermore, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was also here, and no one thought he would lose to Hanzo.
That Kekkei Tōta Power that surpassed Bloodline Limits, these Jonin had more or less witnessed its Power.
"Alright, cheer up everyone! This time, our Stone Village will defeat Cloud Hidden, Sunagakure, Rain Hidden Village, Waterfall Hidden, and Hidden Grass in one fell swoop!" Ōnoki roared loudly, rousing everyone.
"Yes!!!" Kitsuchi, Mahiru, Hikari, Kari, and the others answered in unison, then 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' they turned into Afterimages and swept out of the Main Tent.
Only after everyone had left did Ōnoki slowly descend back to the Ground.
His face no longer held the firmness and fearlessness from before, but instead showed deep worry.
Ōnoki knew very well how difficult this battle would be. Leaving aside the win rate, even if they won, Stone Village would suffer heavy casualties.
Not to mention the low win rate.
Don't forget, Sunagakure still had a Crocodile...
"Hmph, Stone Village absolutely cannot decline under This Old Man's watch. This obstacle, even if I have to risk this old life, I will bring them back!" Ōnoki clenched his fists and looked towards the direction of Stone Village.
"Han, please hold on. And Roshi, you Bastard, even if you're unhappy with This Old Man, you should come back now. The Village is very dangerous..."
This night.
Just as the Third Raikage launched a sneak attack on Stone Village, and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Leader of the Rain Hidden Village, Hanzo, were sandwich attacking the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.
Aramaki, who had lost his Coat of Justice and was bare-chested, returned to Rōran within the Land of Wind with the ten Ninja he had Captured Alive.
These ten Ninja were people whose Abilities he found interesting.
Among them were Ninja from the Hyuga Clan, Uchiha Clan, Aburame Clan, Nara Clan, Yamanaka Clan, and Akimichi Clan.
Originally, there was also a Ninja from the Inuzuka Clan.
But Aramaki found it too troublesome to bring a large dog, and there were definitely many more in Konoha, so he directly drained the Life Force of the person and the dog.
"Admiral Aramaki!"
"Admiral Aramaki!"
Walking through Lou Lan City, the Army Soldiers responsible for guarding and Patrol along the way all puffed out their Chests, raised their heads, and saluted loudly with great Awe.
"Lahahaha~" Aramaki greatly enjoyed this Feeling, and immediately laughed triumphantly.
"This great me single-handedly charged into that Konohagakure, defeating their Ninja Alliance Army of over ten thousand people!"
"I even fought with that so-called 'God of Shinobi' for three days and three nights, and conveniently captured these ten important figures from the other side!"
"Go, call the Cipher Pol people and have them take these guys away!"
After hearing this, the surrounding Army Soldiers' Expressions became even more respectful, even worshipful.
These Gazes also made Aramaki feel even more comfortable. He selectively ignored the experience of his previous crushing defeat, and his Footwork became even more arrogant.
He was thinking that his Record this time would definitely earn him praise from Akainu.
But when Aramaki stepped into the Top Floor Hall of the Central High Tower.
He suddenly found Akainu standing on the Steps in front of the Throne, looking at him expressionlessly.
Beside him, Shiryu leaned against a Stone Pillar below the Steps, glancing over with a cold laugh full of playful mockery on his face.
"Yo, isn't this our 'Admiral' Green Bull, who almost became the second person to die in the Otherworld?"
"As expected of a Mori Mori no Mi Ability User, your recovery ability is truly impressive. If it were anyone else, they'd probably have to come see me using a Cane!"
Akainu's mouth was truly venomous...
"Uh—" Aramaki's Smile froze. He thought to himself, how did they know? There shouldn't have been anyone around to conduct Surveillance at that Time. However, he had underestimated Cipher Pol's Ability/Skill in this area.
"Lahahaha~"
"Admiral Akainu is joking. This... well, I'm not an Admiral yet. As for that Technique name, it just reflects my ambition to become an Admiral."
"That... isn't there a saying in the Demon Slayer World called 'A Soldiers who doesn't want to be a General is not a good Soldiers'!"
Hearing this, Akainu stepped down the polished Leather Boots, one step at a time, from the Throne Steps. At the same time, he looked at the grinning playfully Aramaki and asked in a deep voice, "Then is a Soldiers who doesn't obey Orders a good Soldiers?"
"This..." Aramaki's Expression panicked.
Yes, back in the Titan World, Akainu's Order to him was to guard Rōran, so he could at most repel the Attackers.
But he had left without authorization and followed Minato Namikaze and the others to Konohagakure.
"Also, your Mission should have included keeping an eye on the Queen of Rōran. Now that she's been taken by a Ninja, does that count as a mission failure?"
Akainu's imposing Presence became increasingly terrifying.
An invisible Strength was like a Wave flooding every corner of the Main Hall, even making Shiryu look uncomfortable.
"Ah?" Aramaki was instantly shocked. While backing away in panic, he waved his hands and loudly defended himself.
"Admiral Akainu, this... this can't be blamed on me, right?"
"That Queen of Rōran was taken away by that Ninja named Minato Namikaze using that Space Ability called Flying Thunder God before I arrived here!"
"And the ones watching her at the time were Cipher Pol people, but they were all taken care of by the other party. You can't blame me for this!"
"Idiot!!" Akainu came before Aramaki, sternness appearing on his face, and the surging Pressure directly hit the latter.
"When those Ninja attacked here, had you already entered through the Star Gate? From that moment on, this place was under your guard. Do you dare say you have no Responsibilities?"
"Ah?!" Aramaki was dumbfounded.
How could it be calculated like that? He felt so wronged.
He wasn't Admiral Kizaru...
"Disobeying Orders, mission failure, almost dying, and letting the other side's Powerhouse learn Haki early. I think you truly don't want to be an Admiral anymore!" Akainu's terrifying face leaned close to Aramaki's panicked face and said in a low voice.
"I originally wanted to take you outside for some training and then report upwards to remove your Admiral Military Rank, but compared to that, I hate that Pirate becoming an Admiral even more!"
"So next, I want you to lead a Main Combat Brigade back to Konoha and suppress it!"
Aramaki's eyes lit up.
A Main Combat Brigade had five thousand people, including one Vice Admiral, two Rear Admirals, and four Commodores.
However.
He then scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, "But what about Hashirama Senju? After he enters Sage Mode, I really can't defeat him, alalalala..."
"Impure World Reincarnation, it is indeed a bit troublesome." Akainu nodded, "You've fought them. First, tell me what Thoughts you have. If it's really impossible, I'll report upwards."
In his opinion, the key issue with Hashirama Senju wasn't his great Strength, but the effect of Impure World Reincarnation.
"Reporting to Admiral Akainu, I do have some Thoughts." Aramaki said, lost in thought.
Thank you to Heart Steward for the 1000 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
